1 ACTIVE LIVING FOR BRAIN INJURIES THROUGH SPECIALIZED WALKING POLES

2 WHY WALKING POLES?

3 POLING VS WALKING Full body workout that mimics the same pattern as functional walking, arm swing, core strength & balance

4 HOLISTIC APPROACH Awesome tool for physical and functional goals. We work on improving walking tolerance and talk over challenges. Improves posture, co-ordination, awareness. Less verbal cueing required for arm swing and shoulder ROM. Leah Munday, OT Vancouver

5 ABILITY VS DISABILITY The poles allow me to walk a greater distance to do the things I love like hiking. Many people with a multitude of disabilities are stuck at home and I think many can and should be able to get out. Ian Head, brain injury survivor and advocate

6 VS OTHER WALKING DEVICES - CANES

7 AGENDA Research Review ACTIVATOR Technique Guidelines Exercising for balance & strength Training Urban Poling - copyright

8 RESEARCH 240 studies on PubMed on walking poles 8 Studies on Use of Activator Poles

9 RESEARCH STROKE Gait, balance and ADL improved more significantly in the Nordic Walking treadmill group Kang et al, 2016 Trademarked - Urban Poling Inc.

10 PARKINSON S All participants - reduced pain, improved balance & quality of life NW was superior to other groups - improving postural stability, stride length, gait pattern and gait variability Reuters, et. al 2010

11 MOOD & DEPRESSION Increased patients physical activity & improved their mood. Suija et al Improved mood, less fatigue, decreased depression & anger compared to walking. Stoughton, 1992

12 NORDIC WALKING POLES & ACTIVATOR TECHNIQUE

13 ACTIVATOR & URBAN POLING TECHNIQUE VIDEO Go to urbanpoling.com: Getting Started - ACTIVATOR Training Getting Started- Urban Poling Instructions

14 GAIT WITH POLES

15 GUIDELINES FOR BI Keep it simple use fewer instruction Don t emphasize opposite arm and leg Less distractions Start inside before heading outside to learn Start at 30% of the person s walking tolerance Activity requires physical, social and cognitive skills (new learning, dealing with traffic, talking) so it will require more energy Gradually increase tolerance Exercise with a sturdy wall or chair behind you Use another device for daily use and the poles for daily exercising and walking if you have concerns about co-ordination. Start with one pole and exercise with two and progress to two when co-ordination improves.

16 CONTRAINDICATIONS Assessment by a therapist or rehab professional; Ataxia Poor co-ordination in which poles become a tripping hazard Cognitive limitations that make pole use too challenging. Agitated or aggressive behaviour which places the person or other people at risk. Another option: Use the Poles for daily exercise and other devices for daily mobility in the community

17 BENEFITS OF EXERCISES WITH POLES Benefits for Exercise: Posture Balance Motivation and Variety Bilateral movements Visual & Sensory Cues Home exercise programs become more versatile Becomes more comfortable with using poles for long term use

18 SAMPLE SITTING EXERCISES

19 STANDING & PRE-GAIT EXERCISES

20 BILATERAL EXERCISES

21 WALKING GROUPS increased social interaction, motivated & committed to participate in walk/exercise thus improving their physical /emotional well being Janice Crombeen, Brain Injury Services, Barrie.
